    A detail I feel everyone misses is that around Storm Hill even wolves ambush you via the wind, swooping down after howling. Also many combat arts use storm winds and have their own insignia when being cast, just like all the other forms of magic and incantations. To me this means that at least humanoids, wolves and storm hawks served the Storm Lord, whoever or whatever they were.

  • @atomatopia1

    I think the Storm Lord was actually the Stormhawk King. The ashes say “revered by all others as sovereign” not just “all hawks”. I’d consider it less likely that all people recognize the sovereignty of the king of storm hawks if they’re not from the land of Stormveil, themselves.
    Also it makes sense to me for the Stormhawk king to be in control of the storm of Stormveil.
    It’s interesting to consider the storm lord as a bird, but it kind of makes sense. Strormy winds aren’t the best for bipedal people, but would be great for a bird that can command the winds it flies upon.

      You really need guides for these questlines. It's hard to know exactly how players will progress in an open world, so I get it being hard to have the NPC's appear in places we will naturally find them. Sometimes characters seem obscurely placed even then though. I wish more characters clearly hinted at where you can find them next at least.

    I think if you go off of many anime examples, it is possible that Loux is a clan/tribe name. There are various examples of goblin, ogre, beastmen that are part of less civilized tribes/clans that share a similar naming tradition as a sur name. Though it is possible they might not have a blood relation, I would find it difficult to believe that Nepheli is not blood related to either the storm king or Hoarah Loux and maybe even both.

    REALLY wish if you summoned Nepheli for the Gofrey fight, that she used the Stormhawk King's Spirit Ashes during the fight, and perhaps even had a line or two of dialogue to go with the summon.
    Perhaps, the first time you summon her for it, you'd even get an additional part to the cutscene, similar to how Seigmyer in DSIII has a cutscene for facing Yorhm with him!

      -If Gostoc is dead, that's also fine. Make sure the Stormveil gate has been opened. You can open this yourself if Gostoc is dead.

Then reach a certain point in Farum Azula (don't exactly remember which, but I thought it was further than just arriving there), then go to the Godrick the Grafted grace. Wait there and see if Gostoc moved from stomping on Godrick. If he hasn't, walk to the Secluded Cell grace and then wait there and walk back. If Gostoc isn't alive, instead of seeing if he's stomping, you'll have to go inside the throne room to see if they moved.
